“…Although Doris and Nussbaum argue that guilt has a more discriminate nature, there is evidence that feelings of guilt may produce similarly excessive or misdirected responses in compensation and atonement (Vree, 1975). Consider the story of Mr Jones, who sent his 12-year-old son out one evening to buy a carton of milk.…”

How do experiences of shame and guilt shape or reflect the ways in which the vanquished are reconciled (or not) to the new world order established by the victors? Shame and guilt are universal experiences in the emotional landscape of post-war politics, albeit for different reasons and with radically different political effects. An examination of Germany after 1918 and of Japan after 1945 reveals that experiences of shame and guilt may be pivotal for creating conditions of possibility for reconciliation marked by political and moral transformation. This transformative potential of shame and guilt, however, is a double-edged sword. In threatening old identities, values and beliefs, experiences of shame and guilt may provoke defensive, reactionary and violent political responses, and thus may precipitate hideous rather than salutary transformations. Political leadership and political culture are crucial factors in shaping the kind of reconciliation -reactionary or transformative -as well as the specific nature of transformations that experiences of shame and guilt may motivate the vanquished to pursue.

Fifty-nine `Martyrs' Lists' of 1650 Palestinians killed during the Palestinian Uprising against the Israeli occupation are analyzed to shed light on what Freedman and Medway (1994: 2) call `the rhetorical action taken within a recurring social situation'. The analysis of the structure, style, syntax, rhetoric and use of metaphor in the lists (taken from the Palestinian magazine, al-Kateb) illustrates that, while they share some important structural and rhetorical features with news text, they differ from news reports in ways that enhance the lists' communicative function. The study also shows how al-Kateb uses the narrative text genre of the lists to comment on the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations and to prescribe the socially sanctioned behavior of sacrifice.
